Need Affordable Patent Help?

Each participant needs to attend a training program on intellectual property and is required to do a patent search to see if their ideas are new.

Inventors also will have to file a provisional application before being able to enroll in the Minnesota pilot program. To be eligible, inventors have to be within certain income levels and pay a small charge for administrative costs. Once all the requirements are met, an inventor will be matched with an attorney who will provide legal assistance.
